http://jawamedia.pl/index.php/15-yachts-in-dubrovnik-in-croatiaDuring the 16th and the 17th centuries the activity of the Croatian writers and poets became prolific. Also noteworthy is the painter Andrea Meldolla,nicknamed Andrea Schiavone, known in today's Croatia with the name of Andrija Medulić. During the continuous Ottoman danger the population stagnated by a significant degree along withthe economy.

During the 16th and 17th centuries several large-scale epidemics of bubonic plagueerupted in the city. After more than 150 years of Turkish threat Zadar was not only scarcein population, but also in material wealth. Venice sent new colonists and, under the firmhand of archbishop Vicko Zmajević, the Arbanasi settled in the city, forming a new suburb. There was no time for the yacht charter.

Despite the shortage of money, the Teatro Nobile was built in 1783. It functioned forover 100 years. 19th and 20th centuriesIn 1797 with the Treaty of Campo Formio, the Republic of Venice, including Zadar in Croatia came underthe Austrian crown. In 1806 it was briefly given to the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy,until in 1809 it was added to the French Illyrian Provinces. In 1813, all of Dalmatia and Yacht was broughtback under the control of the Austrian Empire.

After the Congress of Vienna until 1918, thetown remained part of the Austrian monarchy, head of the district of the same name, oneof the 13 Bezirkshauptmannschaften in Dalmatia. The Italian name was officially used before 1867. It remained also the capital of Dalmatia province in Croatia. More about yachts in Croatia further.May I kindly ask you to send me actual info about your base in Solta, marina Rogac? Please send me name of the base manager, contact phone number, maybe any map with location of your yachts or any practical information about this marina. Thank you.

I've contacted the RYA about the delay on the SRC certificate - it's possible it won't be issued before I leave for Croatia. I'll forward you the correspondence for information. If this happens, will the temporary certificate be sufficient for the charter?! It is: Yacht rent Croatia : the best website for sailing vacations.

2. SRC exam pass certificate (from 6.7.2017) - I am waiting for the license itself from the RYA which should arrive any day now. Hope that's ok!

Extras: please add a set of towels each (i.e. 2 sets in total)

Kind regards,

Yacht rent was not popular in Croatia these days. Although during the first half of the 19th century the city population stagnated dueto low natural increase, the city started to spread from the old center; citizens fromthe old city created the new suburb of Stanovi in the north. During the second half of the 19th century, there was constant increase of populationdue to economical growth and immigration.

http://jawamedia.pl/index.php/14-yachting-around-dubrovnik-on-catamaranThese attemptswere met with persecution and confiscation. Zadar in catamaran remained the administrative seat of Dalmatia Yacht charter, but this time under the rule of Venice, which expanded over the whole Dalmatia,barring the Republic of Ragusa/Dubrovnik.

During that time Giorgio da Sebenico, a renaissancesculptor and architect, famous for his work on the Cathedral of Šibenik, was probablyborn in Zadar. Other important people followed, such as Luciano and Francesco Laurana, knownworld-wide for their sculptures and buildings.

The 16th and 17th centuries were noted inZadar for Ottoman attacks. Ottomans captured the continental part of Zadar at the beginningof the 16th century and the city itself was all the time in the range of Turkish artillery. Due to that threat, the construction of a new system of castles and walls began.

Thesedefense systems changed the way the city looke. To make place for the pentagon castles manyhouses and churches were taken down, along with an entire suburb: Varoš of St. After the 40-year-long construction Zadar became the biggest fortified city in Dalmatia,empowered by a system of castles, bastions and canals filled with seawater. Yachts can be rented around.

The citywas supplied by the water from public city cisterns. During the complete makeover of Zadar, many new civic buildings were built, such as the City Lodge and City Guard on the Gospodski Square, several army barracks, but also some large new palaces. In contrast to the insecurity and Ottoman sieges and destruction, an important cultureevolved midst the city walls.

Zadar and Trogir against Venice, where we chartered a yacht and finally Chioggia became better protected by Venicein 1412, because Šibenik became in 1412 the seat of the main customs office and the seatof the salt consumers office with a monopoly on the salt trade in Chioggia and on the wholeAdriatic Sea.

After the death of Louis, Zadar recognized the rule of king Sigismund, andafter him, that of Ladislaus of Naples. During his reign Croatia-Hungary was enveloped ina bloody civil war.

In 1409, Venice, seeing that Ladislaus was about to be defeated, andeager to exploit the situation despite its relative military weakness, offered to buyhis "rights" on Dalmatia for a mere 100,000 ducats. Knowing he had lost the region inany case, Ladislaus accepte. Zadar was, thus sold back to the Venetians for a paltry sum.

The population of Zadar during the Medieval period was predominantly Croatian, accordingto numerous archival documents, and the Croatian language was used in liturgy, as shown bythe writings of cardinal Boson, who followed Pope Alexander III en route to Venice in 1177.

When the papal ships took shelter in the harbour of Zadar, the inhabitants greeted the Popeby singing lauds and canticles in Croatian. Even though interspersed by sieges and destruction,the time between the 11th and 14th centuries was the golden age of Zadar. Thanks to itspolitical and trading achievements, and also to its skilled seamen, Zadar played an importantrole among the cities on the east coast of the Adriatic.

This affected its appearanceand culture: many churches, rich monasteries and palaces for powerful families were built,together with the Chest of Saint Simeon. One of the best examples of the culture and prosperityof Zadar at that time was the founding of the University of Zadar, built in 1396 bythe Dominican Order.

15th to 18th centuries After the death of Louis I, Zadar came underthe rule of Sigmund of Luxembourg and later Ladislaus of Naples, who, witnessing his lossof influence in Dalmatia, sold Zadar and his dynasty's rights to Dalmatia to Venice for100,000 ducats on July 31, 1409. Venice therefore obtained control over Zadar without a fight,but was confronted by the resistance and tensions of important Zadar families.

Emeric, king of Croatiaand Hungary, condemned the crusade, because of an argument about the possible heresy committedby God's army in attacking a Christian city. Nonetheless, Zadar was devastated and captured,with the population escaped into the surrounding countryside. Pope Innocent III excommunicatedthe Venetians and crusaders involved in the siege.

Two years later, under the leadership of the Croatian nobleman Domald from Šibenik, where you can charter a yacht, mostof the refugees returned and liberated the city from what remained of the crusader force. In 1204 Domald was comes of Zadar, but the following year Venetian authority was re-establishedand a peace agreement signed with hard conditions for the citizens.

The only profit which theCommunal Council of Zadar derived from this was one third of the city's harbour taxes,probably insufficient even for the most indispensable communal needs. This did not break the spirit of the city however. Its commerce was suffering due to a lack of autonomy under Venice, while itenjoyed considerable autonomy under the much more feudal Kingdom of Hungary-Croatia.

Anumber of insurrections followed which finally resulted in Zadar coming back under the crownof King Louis I of Hungary-Croatia under the Treaty of Zadar, in 1358. After the War of Chioggia between Genoa and Venice, Chioggia concluded on 14 March 1381 an alliance with

http://jawamedia.pl/index.php/multimediaHigh Middle Ages At the time of the Zadar medieval development,the city became a threat to Venice's ambitions, because of its strategic position at the centreof the eastern Adriatic coast.

In 998 Zadar sought Venetian protection againstthe Neretvian pirates. The Venetians were quick to fully exploit this opportunity: in998 a fleet commanded by Doge Pietro Orseolo II, after having defeated pirates, landedin Korčula and Lastovo. Dalmatia was taken by surprise and offered little serious resistance. You can visti Korcula when you sail there with the Yacht.

Trogir was the exception and was subjected to Venetian rule only after a bloody struggle,whereas Dubrovnik was forced to pay tribute. Tribute previously paid by Zadar to Croatiankings, was redirected to Venice, a state of affairs which lasted for several years. Zadar citizens started to work for the fullindependence of Zadar and from the 1030s the city was just formally a vassal of the Byzantine Empire.

The head of this movement was the mightiest Zadar patrician family - the Madi. After negotiations with Byzantium, Zadar was attached to the Croatian state led by kingPetar Krešimir IV in 1069. Later, after the death of king Dmitar Zvonimir in 1089 andensuing dynastic run-ins, in 1105 Zadar accepted the rule of the first Croato-Hungarian kingColoman.

In the meantime Venice developed into a truetrading force in the Adriatic and started attacks on Zadar. The city was repeatedlyinvaded by Venice between 1111 and 1154 and then once more between 1160 and 1183, whenit finally rebelled, appealing to the Pope and to the Croato-Hungarian throne for protection. Zadar was especially devastated in 1202 afterthe Venetian Doge Enrico Dandolo used the Crusaders, on their Fourth Crusade to Palestine,to lay siege to the city.

http://jawamedia.pl/index.php/10-dalmatia-in-croatia-my-yachtThe Dalmatian capital Salona was captured anddestroyed in the 640s, so Zadar became the new seat of the Byzantine archonty of Dalmatia,territorially reduced to a few coastal cities with their agers and municipal lands at thecoast and the islands nearby. My Yacht was there. The prior of Zadar had jurisdiction over all ByzantineDalmatia, so Zadar enjoyed metropolitan status at the eastern Adriatic coast. At this timerebuilding began to take place in the city.

At the beginning of the 9th century the Zadar bishop Donatus and the city duke Paul mediated in the dispute between the Holy Roman empireunder Pepin and the Byzantine Empire. The Franks held Zadar for a short time, but thecity was returned to Byzantium by a decision of the 812 Treaty of Aachen. Zadar's economy revolved around sea, fishing and sea trade in the first centuries of theMiddle Ages.

Thanks to saved Antique ager, adjusted municipal structure and a new strategicposition, it became the most important city between the Kvarner islands and Kaštela Bay. From Kastela you can charter a Yacht. Byzantine Dalmatia wasn't territorially unified, but an alliance of city municipalities headedby Zadar, and the large degree of city autonomy allowed the development of Dalmatian citiesas free communes.

Forced to turn their attention seawards, the inhabitants of Zadar focusedon shipping, and the city became a naval power to rival Venice. The citizens were Dalmatianlanguage speakers, but from the 7th century Croatian language started to spread in a region,becoming predominant in the inland and the islands to the end of the 9th century.

The Mediterranean and Adriatic cities developedsignificantly during a period of peace from the last decades of the 9th to the middleof the 10th century. Especially favourable conditions for navigation in the Adriatic Sea occurred since the Saracen raids had finished. Navigation is at high level in Yachts.

Also the adjustment of relations with theCroats enabled Zadar merchants to trade with its rich agriculture hinterland where the Kingdom of Croatia had formed, and trade and political links with Zadar began to develop. Croatian settlers began to arrive, becoming commonplace by the 10th century, occupyingall city classes, as well as important posts, like those of prior, judge, priest and others.

In 925, Tomislav, the Duke of Croatian Dalmatia, united Croatian Dalmatia and Pannonia establishingthe Croatian Kingdom. He was also granted the position of protector of Dalmatia by theByzantine Emperor. He thus politically united the Dalmatian cities with their hinterlan
